Women Workers.

What would not the world lose if
women adhered to the ancient order
of things, retiring from active service
at As or so? There were few notable
instances even in old times, of pro-
4onged usefulness. Harriet Martineau,
for example, executed some of her
best literary work in the latter years
of her life. Her important articles for
the Westminster ReUieW and her 1910
leaders for the London Daily Neics on
American slavery, the Indian ques-
ton, the education of women, politi-
cal economy, domestic service and all
political subjects of the day, were
written between 1845 and 1854, when
she was between so and 20 years of
age. Mrs. Hannah More wrote her
<'Celebs in Search of Wife" after
she had entered into the fifties, while
some of her religious works were
produced much later. In recent
years in England the most notable
instance of the productiveness and
versatility of a mature woman's mind
is to be found in the works of George
Eliot, who reared her own imperisha-
BILE monument in literature after she
had passed her thirty-seventh year.
Mrs. Oliphant, at an advanced age, is
still producing delightful fiction, while
Miss Charlotte Yonge, who is de-
scribed as charming little lady with
gray curls, continues to send forth her
stories for old and young. Mrs. Har-
riett beecher Stowe, at seventy-four,
has only recently laid aside the pen
that drew such varied pictures OF
American life. Miss Eliza Leslie con-
tinued to write her pleasant sketches
of old society, her novelettes and her
recipes for delectable dishes up to the
allotted three score and ten. Mrs.
Sarah j. Hale executed vast amount
OF literary and editorial work between
her thirtieth and seventieth years.
Mrs. Hale was for years the editor OF
Godey's Lady's Book. She also COM
piled monumental work on woman s
achievements in all ages. What will
perhaps be longest remembered about
her, however, is that she was the au-
thor of that classic of childhood,

THE OLD WILD HEN.
The Eccentric Career of
EaafhArNd Hairl0Qm.

The Eccentric Career of q
Feathercd Heirloom.
"I have just received letter from
my folks at the old homestead. 1t
contains some bad news" said COM
mercial traveller at breakfast this
morning, as he showed the reporter
letter which opened as follows:
RANSOM, Mich, August 8, 1887.
Dear Boy. The old wild hen is dead.
YOUR MOTHER.
"You needn't laugh" said the
commercial traveller, reproachfully.
"The death of that old hen was a
great event in our family. She was
q petite blonde, sly, selfish, and self
possessed. She was the only surviv-
ing one of eleven debutantes of ten
wears ago. She never looked day
older than when, blithe and trust
full pullet, she assumed the active du-
ties of life by adopting an orphan door
knob. never shall forget the spirit
of self denial and persistent mother
yearning with which, for six weeks,
she folded the unresponsive door knob
to her bosom.
"Then she assumed her place in the
world with an evident determination
to drown her disappointment in the
fierce activities of a cynic. She became
grasping and conscienceless. She drove
an inoffensive duck from its nest,
Matched out the eggs herself, and
then murdered her stepchildren.
Finally she developed habit OF hid
ing her nest in unheard of places, far
from the haunts of men. She didn't
announce her eggs with the wild man
ifestations of joy peculiar to her kind.
She would sneak up to the house from
her nest, and in about four hours she
would suddenly seem to remember
that she had laid the superstructure Of
an omelette and burst into a
wild pan of rejoicing. The egg
was probably. secreted about
a mile from the spot where she
seemed first to remember its occur
renee. One day l had a brief but
busy engagement with nest of hor-
nets in a clump of bushes about
mile south by southeast from the
house. l there discovered that the
old hen had formed treaty of de-
fense with the hornets, under whose
villa she had deposited her eggs. l
was so surprised and panied at discov-
ering this alliance that never went
back after the eggs.
"She got the hens rights craze, and
was seized with an abnormal desire to
crow. During this period of her life
she licked dude peacock and led an
otherwise riotous career. She saw
generation after generation of fowls
rise, flourish year or two, and go
down to death and the market under
the nom de plumes of spring chickens,
but she defiantly lived on until she
became relict OF the farm, and we
learned to love her as well as one can
love such cold nature. 1t must have
CALLED her to die natural death. She
would have preferred being killed and
sold as a spring chicken, and she
would have cackled with glee at the
prospect of the panied surprise of the
man that should buy and attempt to
eat her ancient carcass. ."-[Evening

A Rats Revenge.

Pick McKeon, a well-known en-
oloye on the Wharyes of the Pennsyl-
7ania Company, me that he
las seen many an old rat lose its eye
ii a fight with the sparrows. Once he
saw a sparrow caught by a one-eyed
at. The quadruped had apparently
.ost his eye in one of the oat troubles
tome weeks before. 1t was clear that
it was animated by a spirit of revenge.
''For two days." says Pick, II saw the
rat lying on his back, under a string
piece, as though dead. One of Daddy
Reds horses was splitting oats nearby
and the sparrows were filing them
selves. The third day the horse had a
tantrum and shook the oats all over
the rat. The sparrows ate the scat
tered oats first. They were evidently
suspicious of the rat, although he had
been lying there at their dinner-hour
for two days. Finally a bold little cock
went up to the rat and began to pick
the oats from between his hind legs.
In a jiffy the rat doubled on him.
There was = snap like the blades of a
jack-knife. The sparrow gave q fut-
ter and q dying gasp, and the rat
dragged him away with one wing
trailing behind him."-New York Star.

Beauty Well Ballasted.

The modern woman is we'll ballasted
If she had the wings that 60 with the
celestial qualities the romancers as,
cribe to her they had need be of good
size and stoutly feathered to lift he1
and her paraphernalia above the
ground.
The writer tried the scales upon her
hat and wrap last week. The little
jet and lace affair that fits so iauntily
over her shoulders, and looks as airy
and light as the spring morning itself,
is no such gossamer. It need weigh
next to nothing, but it a and does
run as high as thirty pounds. Ten
pounds is good average weight for
glitter and tinkle enough to make a
panoply of sparkling sun-points of
their owner as she walks the streets
looking like a dewdrop and feeling
like a lump of lead.
The long and digniied raglan that
overs the figure from top to toe has
possibilities in the way of beads that
are not granted it for nothing, and it
improves them to the full. Forty
pounds it is said to weigh; there are
fairy tales of fifty, but the writer
speaks only whereof she knows. The
bonnet hardly knows the meaning of
avoirdupois till it makes the acquaint-
'ance of that black king jet, but then
it weighs down the scales in right
lordly fashion. Four pounds is little
enough for a glittering beaded crown,
and there are heads that submit to
eight and nine without a murmur for
the sake of such a regal diadem.
Forty-five pounds has a jetted gown
been known to weigh; plus thirty for
the wrap and five for the bonnet, the
sum is a nice little total of eighty
pounds for the proverbially delicate
American woman to carry about with
her on promenades.-New York Mail

The Family Medicine Chest.

Every family should be supplied with
, small medicine chest, especially in
the country where the drug store can
not be promptly reached or a doctor
visited. These chests can be bought
at prices ranging from s. to $25, ac-
cording to size, kind of material used
and beauty of finish. They contain
square, velvet-lined compartments in
to each of which a square bottle with a
ground-glass stopper is fitted. Beneath
is a drawer for salves, plasters and
medicines in a dry state. You can
make your own chest, if handy with
tools and disposed to be economical.
I have had such a chest in use for
twenty years. It has paid me over. and
over, and has often spared me great
anxiety of mind. It contains six four.
ounce bottles in which I keep Jamaica
ginger, camphor, sweet spirits of nitre,
a mixture of sweet oil and lime water,
etc.; it also contains six two-ounce
Walls filled with laudanum, paregoric,
hive syrup, arnica, etc. In the drawer
l keep chlorate of potash, sugar of
lead. court plaster, ready-spread mus
tard plaster, lint, a wad of cotton, etc.
Every article is plainly labeled, and
thus I have at hand many of the
remedies most needed in ordinary en-
ergencies.
It does not require a great knowl-
edge of medicine to know what to use
for the ordinary ailments of the human
family, especially for the younger
members. In cases of fever a tea
spoonful of sweet spirits of nitre in a
glass OF water taken in small sips at
short intervals is most excellent. A
relief for scalds, burns, poison ivy, ETC.,
will be found in an external applica-
ton of sweet oil and lime water.
Jamaica ginger is used for cramps in the
stomach. Sugar of lead water used ex-
ternally will reduce swe]lings in the
limbs. Hive syrup is given for Group.
Arnica is rubbed on sprains, bruises,
insect bites, etc. Chlorate of potash
is used for sore throat.
OF course, if the case is a serious one,
a physician should be promptly con-
suited; but during the interval these
simple remedies can be intelligently
used, and such prompt intelligent use
is often Of great service previous to the
arrival of the physician. More than
one physician has said to me, in SUBJ
stance, "you have checked the disease
in its early stage; I have little to
recommend beyond what you have al
already done.
My wife and myself have been
alarmed scores of times by symptoms
of fever or Group in our children on a
midwinter midnight, the nearest ply
sician five miles away. In almost
every instance by giving the patient
sweet spirits of nitre for the fever, or
hive syrup for the Group, we found the
child much better in the morning, our
fears allayed, and the visit of a
physician u%nneeded. These statements,
borne out by a long experience, should
be sufficient to extend the introduction
of the family medicine chest. I have
found it of such great use to me, in a
practical, beneficial and economical
way that I am urged to call the atten-
ton of others to its merits.-Frank. II.

GUSHING 70 DEATH

in the attempt to swim the Niagara
Whirlpool Rapids is no more reckless or
dangerous than to trife with disease
which each day secures a stronger hold
and hastens the end of life. This is
specially true of rheumatism, neuralgia,
s~ciatica, and nervous headache, which
though perhaps slight at first are ex-
tremely dangerous, and steadily secure a
frmer grip until at last the agony is unen-
durable and sudden death brings relief.
These diseases can be cured by the use
of Athlophoros which, in connection with
Athlophoros Pills, never fails when prop
erly used. Read the following from those
who have tested it.
John s. Kennedy, Spearville, Kansas,
says: "Nearly two years ago, four bottles
of Athlophoros cured me of rheumatism,
and l have had no return of the old COM
plant since"
Mrs. A Newton, wife of K Mayor New
ton, Des Moines, Iowa, says: ~ had
been q great sufferer for years, and had re-
sorted to many remedies, but nothing
would do what Athlophoros did for me.
Athlophoros took the stiffness out of the
joints of my fingers, which I had been
troubled with so long"
Murray J. Cochran, Denison, Iowa, says:
ut is now two years since I used A%thlopho-
ros, and I have had no rheumatism since.
At b time I used this medicine / was Grip
pied so that I had to use crutches. Myknees
were swollen so that I had to cut my pants
in order to wear them; my arms were stiff
at the elbows; part of the time I could not
feed myself. While in this condition, I was
advised to take Athlophoros; which I did.
After using a few bottles, I was completely
cured.
Every druggist should keep Athloph oros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cam
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Co., 112 Wall St., New York, will
send either carriage paid) on receipt Of
regular price, which is $1.00 per bottle
for Athlophoros and SOC. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, In
digestion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases
Of Awomen, constipation, headache, impure
blood. Sc, A%thlophoros Pills are unequaled. II
